His comforting scent and straight stride knocked me right to sleep. But I was astonished to see that I slept all morning AND day.This heat thing was already exhausting me, and it wasn't even coming that soon. This got me even more curious as to who I really am. I knew that highly ranked wolves were said to have the worst heats, since the dominance in a Alpha, Beta or Gamma wolf was more prominent. Hence, the wolf's need to be fully mated is always greater.The room was already dark, indicating that the sun was almost gone, if not gone already. Niall was nowhere to be seen

Hours.Four terrible long hours just sitting in a car waiting, anticipating and longing to arrive.The minute Niall and I got back to the Alpha house, he quickly explained everything to Jared and Asia while I packed a few things for us.They were already waiting at the door when we got back. Every wolf in the pack heard my howl, and that included them. I wasn't surprised when I saw Asia's concern though; any wolf could understand what a howl like that meant.We didn't know how long we would be gone for, but I knew for sure that if it was more than three days, I had to let Niall go back home. I need my mate, but a pack needs its Alpha and I couldn't keep him from his pack any longer than three days.This seemed to have the worst timing ever. Just when I am a day away from having my heat this happened. It's like the universe has a vendetta against me or something."Hey it's gonna be okay" Niall whispered from beside me. He held my hand with hi

"Can I see her?" I asked as soon as I entered the hospital.They knew who I was talking about so I was immediately ushered to her room. Luka and Levi were already there when I entered, blocking my view to the bed. Luka met my eyes as soon as I entered, and the smile on his face made me know that everything was okay.I slowly walked further in towards them, and as soon as they stepped away from the bed and I saw her, I felt reassured. The smile that graced her lips when I saw her made me feel way better than I felt since I got that call yesterday."Hey" I whispered as soon as I was close enough to her. I kept my voice low as if I was going to hurt her with my tone.She offered me her famous Victoria smile then wrapped me in her arms. I held onto her for dear life, but just loose enough so I didn't hurt her.A single tear of joy rolled down my cheek as I heard a light chuckle from her."I don't appreciate all this tears shedding for me you kno

Different but great.That was the only sentence that I could use to describe how I felt in that moment. Since my heat two days ago and that wonderful night with Niall, I've never been the same--we've never been the same. I knew what it felt like to be fully mated, and I've never been happier.The constant assurance that he's mine and only mine was spectacular. I saw a new side of him that I'm oh so excited to meet again once we're back home later. I loved having him with me; it put me and my wolf at complete ease. All in all, I felt complete despite the fact that there was a whole other side of my life that I'm yet to discover.I had another talk with Victoria and Luka yesterday, just to be sure that I was receiving all the information I can get on my dad. But even after going through all my mom's things again and hearing all the stories mom told Victoria back in the day, I still haven't found anything.This trip home was supposed to be about being there

I rushed through the trees like wind as I ran towards the Alpha house.My mate was in trouble and my one goal was to find him. I tried not to panic too much, but simply try and focus on the issue at hand. We have a connection, so finding him shouldn't be the problem. But if I was going to make this work, I had to keep my head straight.I contemplated asking Clarissa for help. She is, after all, an expert at tracking. Deciding that I could use all the help I can get, I mindlink her.<"Clarissa! My mate is in trouble. I need you to help me find him">  I pushed through her link without warning. She replied immediately.<"He's your mate. Doesn't that make you the best to find him?"><"Yes, but I'm sure I'll find him faster with your help...Please Clarissa. I know you're not his biggest fan, but I really need your help"> I pleaded desperately.The level of worry I felt made me know that I'd do ANYTHING to have him back with
